Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureD-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Buccaneers and Bisontis: B-.

The Buccaneers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chase Bisontis, the No. 53 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Whittington reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In No. 16 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in pick 46 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in the 77th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Nothing to complain about; Tacario Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They did well to land Charles Demmings in the 155th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Zane Durant
A tidy bit of business in slot 195, where Zane Durant graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
They paid up for Noah Whittington at pick No. 229 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
